Mark Sanchez is willing to put his money where his mouth is. The Jets quarterback, nicknamed “The San-chize” by fans, said Tuesday he has already spoken to his agent about looking into possibly restructuring his contract to help the team re-sign players.

The NFL lockout appears to be coming to an end. When it does, the Jets will quickly be in the middle of the utter madness of free agency. General Manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan will have their hands full making this team better.

Jets special teams weapon, do-it-all receiver and Wildcat quarterback Brad Smith is ready to test free agency. “As a football player in the interest of business, you have to be able to explore and see what may be best for you,” he told Pro Football Weekly.

The NFL lockout and a lack of free agency have handcuffed Mike Tannenbaum so far this offseason. No big splashes. Still, the Jets GM is heading into next week’s NFL Draft with the same approach he always has.

Few plays are as memorable or dangerous as long kickoff returns. Highlight shows can’t get enough of Devin Hester, Leon Washington or the Jets’ Brad Smith breaking one. The NFL wants those “game-breaking” plays to be safer.

The Jets have placed a first- and third-round tender on Antonio Cromartie and Santonio Holmes. That means another team would have to give up a first- and third-round pick to sign either free agent — at least under the current collective bargaining agreement.
